I’ve always loved animals. I have experience with dogs with disabilities and all different personalities. I got my first dog as an adult in 2022, but unfortunately after just a year and a half of having her, she had a stroke which cause her to lose function of her back half. This meant that I quickly had to become her care giver, so for 2 years we helped her walk and expressed her bladder and bowels. After she passed, I made a promise that I would help rescue dogs in her honor. I started volunteering at an animal rescue where I walk 8+ dogs per shift, dealing with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also foster for the rescue and give dogs a temporary home while they search for their forever home. With all my time working with my own dogs and at the rescue, I’ve learned a lot about training dogs. I have experience using a prong collar, training puppies, and I’m a strong believer in positive reinforcement with treats! If your dog stays with me, please know they will be loved and cared for like they are my own.
